A composition having an extract of seed of Emblica officinalis. Methods of preparing extract of seed of Emblica officinalis. An amla seed blend composition having various ratios of extracts of seeds of Emblica officinalis. Nutraceutical or pharmaceutical methods for decreasing the total cholesterol, decreasing triglyceride, decreasing blood glucose level, enhancing HDL-C levels, increasing the HDL-C level to total cholesterol ratio, lowering LDL-C levels, decreasing the CRP level, decreasing the intima media thickening, reducing hair fall in mammals especially human beings. The extract of seed of Emblica officinalis, or the amla seed blend composition is more effective compared to extracts prepared from fruits of Emblica officinalis.

The present disclosure refers to topical pharmaceutical bases that possess antiviral properties. Further, these topical pharmaceutical bases are employed for preventing a patient to be infected by viral diseases. The topical pharmaceutical bases include Amazonian oils and resins, such as pracaxi oil and breu-branco resin. The synergistic effect of pracaxi oil combined with breu-branco resin results in a highly effective antiviral treatment. Suitable active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) can be incorporated to the topical pharmaceutical bases to formulate topical pharmaceutical compositions, which improve antiviral effects. The synergistic effect provided by the combination of pracaxi oil and breu-branco resin enables lower dosage requirements of the associated APIs when topical pharmaceutical compositions are employed for preventing viral diseases.

A useful substance is extracted from botanical feedstock by mechanically compressing the feedstock and pumping a solvent through the compressed feedstock at high pressure while applying compressive mechanical force against the feedstock. Movement of pressurized solvent through the compressed feedstock may increase the volume of solvent in contact with the feedstock. Flow of solvent under pressure may also present a shearing force that facilitates dissociation of the useful substance from the feedstock.
